Answer:

Question 4. Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when
(i) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air.
(ii) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
(iii) 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
Answer: The balanced equation for the combustion of carbon in dioxygen/air is

(i) In air, combustion is complete. Therefore,C02 produced from the combustion of 1 mole of

www.Padasalai.Net
carbon = 44 g.(ii) As only 16 g of dioxygen is available, it can combine only with 0.5 mole of
carbon, i.e., dioxygen is the limiting reactant. Hence,C02 produced = 22 g.(iii) Here again,
dioxygen is the limiting reactant. 16 g of dioxygen can combine only with 0.5 mole of
carbon.C02 produced again is equal to 22 g.

Question 5. Calculate the mass of sodium acetate (CH3COONa) required to make 500
